Interactive logon: Machine inactivity limit.
Windows notices inactivity of a logon session, and if the amount of inactive time exceeds the inactivity limit, then the screen saver will run, locking the session.
Default: not enforced.

For Core users I could look for the registry key if need be.

The gpo you have found here has a default setting of "not enforced". Do you know how to enforce this gpo so the computer does not auto lock after one minute of inactivity?
Thank you for your consideration,
Andy

The local group policy is always enforced unless overwritten by a domain group policy.

For this setting it does state

This presumably just means that it is enforced once you set a time. Have you tried that?

Does it check out in the screensaver settings? Should be the same value just in minutes instead of seconds.

Yeah. I guess this solution really just does not work for my problem. Thanks so much for your help. I set the value, I have the screen saver off, but problem is not when the screensaver comes on while on the lock screen, it is the computer logging me off to enable the lock screen after one minute of inactivity. That is a different, separate issue. Thanks again.

Found a fix, under User Accounts, clicking reset security policies seems to have fixed the issue. Also, it fixed the issue of not being able to change the screensaver timeout. I haven't been able to track down the specific policy caused the problem in the first place, but this works for now.

Any way to lock "advanced startup options"?My Dell Latitude 10 tablet runs Windows 8. I have created a standard user account and want to forbid the user from accessing the "advanced startup options", which he might use to go to safe mode and reset my tablet. How can I do it? Thanks.
